Civilians and activists have been banned by the Syrian government forces from re-entering Yarmouk Camp in spite of a government decision signaling the go-ahead for the return of the residents to their homes.
Security forces have reportedly been deployed at the main entrances to the camp, blocking civilians’ access into the area to recover their properties and launch reconstruction works.
The crackdowns have been perpetrated on account of ongoing works to clear debris from residential alleyways and access roads.
Activists said the government forces stipulated that an access permit be issued by the concerned branches set up in Street 30 and that residence documents be handed over to local authorities.
A few days earlier, Syria’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faysal Miqdad said the government has officially signaled the go-ahead for the return of Palestinian refugees to Yarmouk Camp.
